I had very cozy and relax 2 weeks at mum's home, it was so nice chance to have unexpected holiday with her!
I realized again that I like country side... I don't like crowded place, much...
I will report my country side life with some photos later, today I share stitching photos which I made for Carol R.'s Birthday!
I know that Carol loves Quaker, so I found CHS's chart (one of Sampler House) in my stash and took them to my mum's home with me.
Here it is, I made a flat fold for her.
I stitched on 40ct newcasthle linen (flax) and used DMC.I changed the Initials to her's and mine in navy, and added 08, too.
All Initials were stitched on 1 over 1 on 40ct, it was soooo hard to stitch!!
I added dark brown braid around the edge, and added organza(?) ribbon on left top with wooden button.I also added dark brown thin ribbon which shaped leaves at the support on the back.
I used grey rose fabric for the back.I forgot to take a photo of backing fabric, though Carol has some photos of this on her blog, if you would like to see. :)
Actually this wooden button was my son's favourite (he likes small spherical things), so when he saw that I added this button on the ribbon, he was going to take it back!! (lol)He was almost going to cry, so I gave him another wooden button :D

We missed you Yuko. I am so glad your visit with your mother was such a good time. I don't get to visit with parents nearly often enough. You'll have to visit my blog to see my Christmas trees - I've put up three full size trees and two smaller trees this year. I think they came out rather nicely. Anyway, I'm glad you and your son are home safely!
